The great prcpondcrance OF the friends OF
the regular nomin atoms OF tho United Democ-
racy who made their preference known at
previous meeting Of tho Young Mems Demo.
cratic Club, led tho few friends OF De Lancey
Nicoll to attempt q better showing at the regu.
lar meeting last night. Tho effort was backed By
q circular mailed by supporters Of Nicoll to
members who they thought were with them.
Tho club numbers about three hundred menu
bers, and about a hundred altogether attended
the meeting including some who found their
names posted on a list Of delinquent members,
and there was good deal OF fun watching
them pay up
Then Frank J. Oliver moved the adoption Of
q resolution offered by him ratifying the entire
ticket as nominated bv the United Democracy.
The battle began at once with q motion BY
William II. Hornblower, seconded by Mr..
Greenbaum. to substitute the namo OF De
Lancey Nicoll for that OF Col. Fellows. Tho
suggestion was received with marked coldness.
Mr.. Oliver led of with tribute OF praise for
all the men on the ticket. When he came to
the name Of Fellows the club broke out with
burst Of applause. Mr.. Oliver brought down
the house with his quotation remarks at.rib.
uted to Nicoll himself deprecating the personal
attacks on Col. Fellows. Warming up with his
subject. Mr.. Oliver attacked the motives Of the
Republicans in putting up Mr.. Nicoll, and said:
1t Ii the work OF our enemies. There is no
reason why We should not vote for all the cam
didates Of the united Democracy"
L. Ellery Anderson led Off the assault for the
friends OF Nicol by audaclously insisting that
Nicoll had successfully conducted the affairs

two years. Mr.. Anderson took pains to say ex-
plicitly that his opposition was not based on
the personal attacks on Col. Fellows. He also
urged that Nicoll might be supported notwith-
standing tho fact that the World supports him.
Ex-Judge Nelson Smith said: This Is
strange thing to ask a Democratic club to do
to endorse Repub lican nominee. The ticket
before the united Democracy is regularly
nominated by the regular conventions. Col
Fellows is noted as a brave. courageous. and
signally capable man for the place-a man who
has served the party With signal success Who
who has done nothing for the party. but who
has got all he has from the party. Is this worth
